One of the best and most intereting books in our library is "Life of Pi". This is the story of a young man raised in a family where the father is a Zoo Keeper. Pi learns all the tricks to ward off "Big Cats", which become necessary when he is left standed with one of them in a lifeboat after the vessel he is on springs a sudden leak and sinks in the Atlantic Ocean. The vessel was carrying his family and a zoo of animals his father is bringing to Canada. Of all the people and animals on board only Pi , a sixteen year old, a hyena, an orang-utan, a zebra with a broken leg, and a 450 pound Royal Bengal tiger, are saved from a watery grave.

How Pi deals with the animals, and himself, keeps alive for over two hundred days, and uses his abilitiy to improvise is a masterful story.
